托福口语既重基础，也需要技巧。所以大家在备考的时候除了积累一定的基础外，还需要把握答题技巧。下面小编就和大家分享托福口语分数提升方法，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。

托福口语分数提升方法 3条建议助你快速提升

一.语音语调练习标准：发音清晰，表达流利

英语有各种口音，大概可归纳为以下三类：

1.英语母语人士的各类口音，如北美口音、英格兰口音、威尔士口音、澳大利亚口音等;

2.以英语为官方语言的国家的口音，如印度口音、新加坡口音、南非口音等;

3.以英语为第二语言的国家的口音，如中国口音、日本口音、俄罗斯口音等。追求地道的发音一直同是很多学所狂热追求的，要么想练成标准英伦腔，要么想表现正宗美国味。殊不知，口语的核心是“表达清晰、准确”。正所谓“华丽的外表可以有，但是内涵跟得上才是正道”。

二.学习英语中的习语，让口语表达更地道

学习使用习语需要长期的积累。如果你能够自如使用习语必将大大增加你口语表达的生动性和地道程度。例如，下面几个使用了习语的句子就显得很地道而生动。

例1：I’ve never met John Franklin, but his name rings a bell。

解析：句中的ring a bell跟“门铃响”毫无关系，它的意思是“听起来耳熟”，以后咱们也能酷酷地跟人说：“The name Oslo rings a bell, but I can’t remember where it is。”

例2：She arrived at the reception dressed to kill。

解析：句中的dressed to kill可不是“被打扮得杀气腾腾”的意思，而是指“穿着极为时尚出众以吸引眼球”。

不过，口语刚入门的同学应慎用习语。原因有二：其一，如果你的谈话对象不是英语母语人士，他/她可能听不懂，这就使沟通出现障碍;其二，如果谈话对象为英语母语人士，他会很惊喜，以为你英语水平与他相当，后果是他会使用更多的习语跟你交流，弄得你一头雾水。当然，等习语累积到一定程度时，你就可以想用就用，谁拦着跟谁急!

三.扩展阅读量，让口语表达更有深度和广度

如果你要想让自己的口语内容具有广度和深度，那就必须进行广泛阅读，从阅读中吸收养分。

有同学会有这样的疑问：文学作品可以帮助提高口语水平吗?回答是：“完全可以。”理由是，通过阅读文学作品，考生可以积累大量的习语。像《圣经》与莎士比亚作品中就含有大量的习语表达，比如由《圣经》而来的“eye for eye, tooth for tooth”(以眼还眼，以牙还牙)和“The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”(心有余而力不足)便是来自于《圣经》;而习语“what’s done is done”(既往不咎)和“Truth will come to light”(真相将大白于天下)就来自于莎士比亚的喜剧作品《威尼斯商人》(The Merchant of Venice)。

其实阅读杂文小品对提高口语水平也是有帮助的。杂文小品中富含养分，可以借鉴的东西很多，比如广泛的话题、严谨的逻辑和各类表达技巧(数据统计、举例说明、因果论证、比较对比等)。阅读就是力量，求知若渴的你请抓紧时间多阅读英文作品吧!

托福口语话题素材：表感谢

1　Thanks. 谢谢

这是一种很普通也是最常用的说法，用在informal的日常生活。跟Thankyou用法一致，但感激更随意一些。

例如：

-Idid your laundry.

-Thanks,mom!

又如：

-Thanksfor taking me to New York City! It was an amazing trip!

-I’mglad you like it!

2　I really appreciate it. 我很感谢。

这是另一个表示感谢的日常用法，你会经常在跟外国人对话的时候听到。可以跟亲朋好友说，更多的是在工作中听到。

例如：

-Listen,Sam, I know that you did a lot for the company and I appreciate it.But I need you leave.

-You must be kidding me.

3　You’re the best. 你最棒了。

这是一种比较热情的说法，女性跟亲人和关系亲密的朋友常说，伴随着激动的心情;男性朋友之间很少使用，有时会跟配偶说。

例如：

Man:Honey, you go and watch TV. I’ll do the dishes.

Woman:Really? You are the best!

4　I couldn’t have done it without you.

若是没有你，我不可能做到。

这个说法表达了manymany的感激之情。如果一个人的帮助对你的影响很大，完全可以说“没有你我一定做不到”!

例如：

-Congratulationson getting into such a prestigious university!

-Thankyou very much, Mr. Jackson! I couldn’t have done it withoutyou.

5 I’d like to express my gratitude.

我要表达我的感激之情。

这是一种比较正式的说法，通常在答谢演讲、毕业演讲等正式场合使用。

例如：

Atthe outset, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude for yourcordial invitation and gracious hospitality.

1. Why Watch Television?

Matthew: Television is undoubtedly a great invention, but one of the main criticisms of it is that people just aren’t selective enough. Lesley, you’ve got a television; how do you pick out the sorts of programmes you want to watch?

Lesley: I try and look at the programmes that are on to decide which particular ones interest me, rather than you turning it on at seven o’clock and you leaving it on until half-past eleven when the programmes finish.

Matthew: Do you think of television though as a great time-waster?

Lesley: I think it can be a time-waster and it depends on how particular people are about what they want to see...Mm, it can just be a sort of total amusement for someone and totally consuming without really considering what it is they’re watching.

Matthew: Aha, but how do you prevent it coming into your life and taking over your evenings and at the same time perhaps get... get out of the television some of the sort of best things... best programmes that ... that undoubtedly are on television?

Lesley: Well, I suppose one of the problems is... will depend on what a person’s life style is, and that if he has other outside interests which are equally important to him as television, he will then, you know, mm... be more careful about which programmes he wants to watch because he has time which he wants to use for other things.

Matthew: Do you think though that ... that in... in a sense television has killed people’s own er...sort of, creativity or their ability to entertain themselves because if they’re bored all they do is just turn on the television?

Lesley: Yes, I think that is a danger, and I think that... in fact is what is happening to a lot of people who use it as their ... their main ... um field of amusement and ... because they don’t have other outside interests and even when people come round they’ll leave the television on and not be, you know, particularly interested in talking to them, you know the television will be the main thing in the room.

Matthew: Peter, have you a television?

Peter: I have, in fact I’ve got two televisions.

Matthew: Do you watch them a lot?

Peter: Er...no I ...I watch very seldom er... In fact, I find that I watch television most when I’m working which requires nothing of me, then I watch television a lot. When I’ve got more energy left...um ...in my own private time, then I find I do more different things. I do things like um reading, or going out, or working on anything ...my hobbies.

Matthew: Do you think though that people can live a perfectly happy life if they haven’t got a television?

Peter: Oh yes, I think people who don’t have a television or people who don’t watch television can be expected to be more happy. You can assume I think if they never watch television they are happier people than the people who watch a lot of television, because I think that television goes with the kind of life which leaves you with nothing to spare, nothing left, you have to be given potted, passive entertainment.

Matthew: But in that case you...you seem as though you’re completely against television, is that true?

Peter: No, it’s not. I ...I have a television in fact, I have two as I said, but er I ... I ... I think there’s a dilemma, a difficult situation. Television in itself is very good; a ... a lot of the information and a lot of the programmes are very instructive, they introduce you to things you may never have though of before or never have hard about before. But in watching, it makes you very passive; you sit for hour after hour and you get very receptive and very unquestioning and it seems to me the important thing in life is to be active, to ... to do things, to think things and to be as creative as possible, and television prevents this.
